REMOVING THE MAGAZINE PLUG
When hunting migratory birds, Federal Law mandates the
use of a magazine restriction devise that allows only a total
of three shells to be held in your shotgun at one time.
WHEN REMOVING THE PLUG BE CERTAIN
THERE ARE NO SHELLS IN THE MAGAZINE OR
CHAMBER AND KEEP THE BARREL AND MAG-
AZINE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AT ALL
TIMES.
REMEMBER, THE PLUG IS UNDER SPRING
PRESSURE SO CARE MUST BE TAKEN FOR
SAFE REMOVAL. ALWAYS POINT THE END OF
THE MAGAZINE AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND
IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN
REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE MAGA-
ZINE’S 3-SHOT PLUG.
The magazine plug is spring loaded and can thrust out of
the magazine when the friction-type magazine retainer is
removed too quickly. Never look directly down into the
cap end of the open magazine.
1. Remove the magazine cap.
2. Place one hand over the retainer and pry it up slowly
with a screw driver using your other hand (see Figure 7).
When the retainer releases you will feel the pressure of the
friction ring and plug on the palm of your hand.
3. Slowly raise your hand and let the magazine spring
relax. Capture the parts in your hand as they spring out.
4. With the spring relaxed, the friction ring, plug, spring
and follower can be removed. To reinstall, reverse this
procedure.
